Photos and videos

Upload project photos for your directory profile, share job photos with a link, curate showcases, and check video jobs.

View as Markdown

Photos in MyBuildX do two jobs: project photos on your directory profile, and job photos that belong to a job. Uploads live at https://mybuildx.com/photos/uploads. Videos live at https://mybuildx.com/videos (General Contractor and Subcontractor accounts).

What you can do

  • Upload project photos for your profile on Uploads.
  • Ask Ask BuildX to save photos to a job, or to create a share link for a job’s photos.
  • Build a showcase of finished-work photos on Jobs → Showcases.
  • Add your logo to downloaded job photos in Settings → Business → Photo branding.
  • Check the status of video jobs on Videos.

Upload project photos

  1. On Home, press Upload project photos in the Get listed on CNM checklist, or go to https://mybuildx.com/photos/uploads.
  2. Drag photos onto Drop photos here or browse, or click it to pick files.
  3. Use JPG, PNG or WebP files up to 40 MB each. HEIC isn’t supported: convert iPhone photos to JPG first.
  4. Each file shows its progress, then “Uploaded to the Gallery.”

These photos appear on your profile preview and on your listing once it’s published. You need to finish account setup before you can upload.

Add photos to a job

The job pages don’t have an upload button. In the Ask BuildX panel, attach photos (JPG, PNG or WebP) and say which job they’re for, for example “Save these to the Oak St job.” The assistant asks for approval before saving. Job photos show in the Live feed on Home and in the job map drawer.

Ask Ask BuildX to create a share link for a job (“Make a share link for the Oak St photos”). You can also ask it to turn a link off. A link can be a fixed set of chosen photos or the job’s live photo timeline, and can have a password and an expiry date. The assistant shows an approval card before it creates the link, then gives you the link to send. The link (mybuildx.com/s/...) opens without a login and shows Shared site photos. If it has a password, the page asks for it first.

Showcases

A showcase groups your best finished-work photos from a job. You build and publish showcases on Jobs → Showcases. See Jobs.

Photo branding

In Settings → Business, the Photo branding card puts your company logo in the corner of job photos when your team downloads them or a customer downloads them from a shared gallery. Photos in the app are never changed.

  1. Press Upload logo (PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 5 MB; PNG with a clear background looks best).
  2. Turn on the option to add the logo to downloaded photos. It’s off by default.

Videos

The Videos page lists video processing jobs on your account with their progress, asset count and status. It refreshes while a video is processing. Press Detail to open one. You can’t start a new video from MyBuildX today, so for most accounts the page shows “No video jobs yet.”

Good to know

  • The Photos gallery page (reorder and delete profile photos) isn’t turned on for accounts right now. After uploading, check your photos on the profile preview.
  • Photo tags are managed on Jobs → Photo Tags. See Jobs.
